Default Weird New Software Change

Hey everyone, first post but long time lurker.
I was looking into my drive mode customization and I noticed there’s now a tow/haul mode. Anyone know why?

(will post pictures soon)

Interesting, probably a programming mixup. But on some vehicles (my RAM truck for example) it disables AFM. But it does alter upshift/downshift points.

Can you say more about where this appears?

There are Drive Modes - Weather, Tour, Sport and Track, and two customizable modes MyMode and Zmode. Within the modes are settings for Steering, Brakes, Engine/shift, Engine Sound, and Suspension. And those parameter themselves have settings that for the most part mimic the weather, tour, sport, and track settings, except the lowest engine sound is stealth rather then weather. Where does this tow haul setting appear in that construct?
